How does a closing work?

Below is a very brief outline of the Closing Process


Process starts upon receipt of the contract and/or title order form. 

Next is assembling all the necessary information to complete the closing

With that, we identify other preliminary information and contact necessary parties

A title search will be completed

We identify any title issues (loans not paid, liens, court judgments, etc.)

Clear any title issues preventing completion of the closing

Issue a commitment to the lender

Issue ICL (insured closing letter) - assurance from the title company to the lender that all lender requirements will be met by the closing attorney

Complete loan payoffs

Determine taxes and disburse appropriately

Determine whether there are any outstanding water and sewer bills to be paid

Determine homeowner association requirements with regards to outstanding balances or fees that must be paid at closing

Obtain the closing instructions from the lender

Prepare the closing statement and lender's closing package using all of the information obtained previously

This will help us determine how much you can qualify for. We will then provide you with a pre-approval letter that will show how much home you can afford. This will be very useful while you are house hunting.
